Courtney and the rest of the staff were great! The environment is positive and supportive. The appointments were well run and really helped me recover! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Matt Z. At the south loop location! I am a middle aged crossfitter and Matt helped me figure out my imbalances so that I am able to safely continue doing what I love! Matt was a great listener, kind and very knowledgeable. Thank you for helping me, Matt:-)

My foot had an unfortunate accident with a rock and after poor diagnostics I decided to come to Impact for a 3rd opinion and hopefully return to activity. I first met with Liz in the fall, after her exam and a follow up appointment she used her judgement on my progress for a referral to a phenomenal foot and ankle physician, and graciously gave a donated boot to me. Her instincts were spot on – I had a tendon tear and several sprains. After I got treatment for the tear I knew exactly where I wanted to be for rehab. I was paired with Alex in January who has provided the best PT experience I’ve ever had (3 in Chicago and 3 out of state). Alex listens carefully, asks quality questions and targets her manual therapy to address acute and global needs. She’s developed a comprehensive rehab exercise program for me that develops my overall recovery and tailored to my mid-term and long term recovery goals (lifting, running and racing). During one set back, she balanced listening, reassurance, and critical evaluation of where I was and how to adjust my treatment. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with others there when scheduling was difficult (including Matt who was also great). I seriously believe that this is THE place to go if you want to recover and return to activity and I have no hesitation to go here proactively in the future.

I am completely happy with Impact Physical Therapy. From scheduling through each personally designed session I know that results are going to make a long term difference in my health.My therapist and team are knowledgeable and empathic while developing my strength and perseverance.I will use these sessions as the basis for my training regimen afterwards.I urge anyone who needs PT, short term or longer, to get an appointment. Ask for Courtney.

I am very impressed with Alexandra Timm. As a dancer, I was looking for someone who understood our common injuries. I was very lucky to see a doctor who knew her and recommended her talents. She found my issue right away, and thus far, both appointments I have had with her resulted in significant progress. I certainly hope this trajectory continues, and I have faith that Alex will bring me back to normal.

It has been 12 weeks since I came here for PT after an ACL surgery! I didn’t do my surgery in the US so communication with my surgeon etc was tough, but Impact did their utmost best and it shows! Not to jinx it but I’m walking great, bending great, and my knee feels normal again 🙂Everyone from the front office to the assistants and the PTs are absolute rockstars — sessions always start on time and they have pretty good availability (esp given how busy they are). My therapists Kristin, Matt and Deja are the 🐐 of physical therapy for real. I’m feeling confident in the recovery because of their great hands on work every session. Would recommend!!

I am very pleased with my therapy experience at Impact. After some initial conversation about my injury, Alex recommended some deep massage of my hip and 3 exercises I can do at home. From the first treatment I felt relief. In fact she discovered that I had tightness of the muscle in my right hip so I am being treated for that as well. I am so satisfied with my therapy I scheduled an appointment with my Orthopedic Surgeon so I can began therapy with Alex for my neck. I am a believer.

I completed physical therapy at Impact’s South Loop location in 2022. The team helped me resolve pain and weakness in both legs. This was my first time in PT, and I was unsure if it would help. The team at Impact was a vital part of my recovery. They helped me stregthen my legs and developed a post-PT plan. It took working out several months after PT, but I’ve regained mobility and reduced pain. PT is hard work, but the amazing team at Impact got me moving again. I am so thankful for their professional knowledge and the positive atmosphere at the clinic.

My wife found this clinic for pelvic floor PT after giving birth and I became a patient soon after. Everything about my experience has been great. Scheduling is reasonably quick for new patients.I saw Matt and he methodically and holistically worked with me to reduce my hip pain. He helped me change my posture, adjust my sleeping position and do exercises to strengthen my hips and gluts. It was a process, but I steadily got better. I particularly appreciate how he did research to identify new ways of treating me, truly acting with ownership. To finally heal, he realized I needed pelvic floor support and referred me to Deja, who got me to the finish line. The reception team is friendly and easy to schedule with.

I never write reviews, but Impact deserves one. The staff at Impact from the front desk, techs, to the PT’s were all fantastic throughout my journey to rehab my shoulder and neck after I was in a car accident earlier this summer. The entire clinic has a great rapport with one another and are always super welcoming. I was lucky enough to be booked with Courtney for my initial evaluation and she was fantastic from the start. She was able to help me get back to where I needed to be, all while having fun while doing it. I hope I don’t need PT again in the near future, but if I do I know where I’m going and who I’m going to.

As an active senior, I’ve had some challenges with tennis elbow(s) and more recently plantar fasciitis. At Impact, I was able to get in quickly for a screening, and am now working with Matt and Alex to address this persistent foot problem. I’m making significant progress! Once again, a solution based and positive experience at Impact South Loop.

For all athletes, especially long distance runners…I highly recommend you to book a recovery session to reduce/prevent injuries. The staff…..awesome, the facility….awesome, the equipment ……awesome, the prices…awesome, you’re awesome too if you’re reading this. My single session came with a 10 min cold plunge and 10-15 min leg compression. I will be back for sure and special shout-out to Kaitlin for making my friend and I experience everything.Ready to attack more training now.#RoadToTheChicagoHalf #HealthisWealth

Love the Impact team at South Loop! They helped me quickly recover from a few running injuries this spring. Deja is an excellent PT and provided me with great knowledge of my injuries and effective exercises and strategies for strengthening and maintenence. Would highly recommend them for physical therapy especially for athletes.

My experience with Impact has been everything I had hoped in physical therapy. My therapist Déjà is knowledgeable, professional and personable. She is exceptional and I would recommend her to anyone needing any physical therapy. You cannot go wrong with Impact and if you are lucky enough to be assigned to work with Déjà, you need to thank your lucky stars. She is the very best!

You will not find a better PT in Chicago! Every therapist there is the best of the best. They also make PT fun! Shout out to Alex Timm who has gotten me to the start line and even a marathon PR through many running injuries. I feel stronger than ever in my form and it is all because of this place. They really know what they are doing! Also, all the recovery tools and options available with the Chicago Recovery Room combined makes this place a no brainer for runners who are injured or just looking for top notch recovery!

Bobbi S.

14:18 03 May 23

I give IMPACT PT South Loop and Therapist Deja 5 stars. Deja and everyone that treated me was compassionate and highly knowledgeable. Deja carefully explained everything that she was doing, backed up by computer diagrams so that I would understand. I appreciated all of the hard work by all that treated me, which I can attribute to my successful healing. I would highly recommend them.

I Just started with Beth and I came from a place that was limited with the modalities that impact is known for, and although I’m in the beginning phase I feel like I’m in good hands, oddly which is a complaint with the OTHER PLACE (no scar tissue management or manipulation) , I had knee replacement surgery and they NEVER went hands on they were just crazy about rubber band exercises which honestly I could do AT HOME, on my own. So I’ll come back to add to this review after I get more appts completed and experience the advanced technology that I transferred here for ….. 2 of 36 appts soo far. Beth is GREAT very KNOWLEDGEABLE and doesn’t mind answering questions.

I have had excellent treatment at the hands of Kristin Morrison at Impact Physical Therapy in the South Loop. So glad that this is the most convenient location for me to receive physical therapy because I am getting old but the team there is keeping me from completely falling apart. The entire staff is friendly and helpful in getting me appointments, working through a series of exercises, and making sure I follow my home exercise program as well.

Brittni is amazing! Everyone at Impact Physical Therapy is so friendly and they have really been helping me work through plantar fasciitis in my final weeks leading up to a big race. I feel like I am well taken care of here and my feet have felt better since I started seeing Brittni. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Ashley H.

21:37 15 Dec 22

I have been seeing Brittni for about a month and cannot recommend her enough! I have been dealing with an over use injury in my wrist and she has helped me make significant improvements. She does a great job with soft tissue work and provides exercises that I can easily do at home to help my recovery. She’s been super supportive of helping me figure out how to return to exercise after a long period where I was scared to do anything without hurting my wrist.Yesterday we tried dry needling for the first time (my first time ever) and it was a great experience. I have a slight fear of needles and Brittni went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable during treatment.Brittni and the team at IMPACT are fantastic!

Bob P.

18:18 05 Dec 22

This is the first time in about a decade that I can walk around without pain. Worked with Matt for about 8-10 weeks and it was such a great experience. Was able to work with other therapists as well, everyone was highly knowledgeable and administered incredible care. Highly recommend.

Kristi H.

03:47 27 Sep 22

Impact PT/Chicago Recovery Room was fantastic to work with to keep me running injury-free this season! PT Liz was knowledgeable and responsive, and included a variety of effective modalities for my needs. The team is organized and friendly, and the space is well set up for recovery seasons. Big thanks!!

I came to Impact at age 74 nervous that my days of agility and strength were behind me. Then I met Kristin Morrison, and 12 weeks later, I completed my therapy with restored strength and confidence. Thank you!! Your guidance and knowledge made the difference. I am forever grateful!!

The entire staff at Impact has been so helpful & welcoming! I have had a hip/back issue for the past few years & Beth has been absolutely wonderful at addressing my individual problems and concerns. After the first session I was able to run with NO PAIN for the first time in years! I cannot say or express my gratitude enough.

Beth is amazing. She takes time to listen to you and explain the details to make you understand the muscle system, root causes and the treatment process. She is very patient, practical, knowledgeable and precise. I had a lot of pain that was going on for a while on my upper left side: in shoulder, back, arm, neck, head, face. She identified it to be a shoulder rotator cuff issue referring pain everywhere and within a couple weeks I made a lot of progress in the pain relief and increased range of motion under Beth’s treatment plan. Now we are working on the strengthening. I had a session with Liz as well and she was great too. Everyone at Impact is very friendly and supportive. The home exercise plan through the app helps to keep you on track. I would highly recommend Impact.

MY physician referred me for physical therapy I have never had physical therapy and was skeptical that it would help. At age 70, I work out every day and did not want to be advised to cut back on my exercise routine. Impact understood my concerns and set me up with exactly the right therapist. My therapist, Brittni, understood my issues immediately and worked with me to add specific exercises to address my issue and helped me improve my exercise routine, not disrupt it. This has been a great experience and I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

I had been having knee pain for several years and was recommended here by my wrist therapist. I worked with Alex and she was very knowledgeable, quickly pinpointed where my issue is. Over the course of 3 months, she guided me through different exercises to help address the underlying issues. Now I can squat or play tennis, and my knee would no longer be in pain for the next few days. Other staff such as Nick are also super friendly and helpful to guide me through the exercises.

The providers and staff at Impact truly put the patients needs first. EVERYONE is focused on the care of the patient. I personally have been a patient at Impact for several years, on and off, due to various injuries. Both providers and staff are knowledgeable, kind, patient, and flexible with their time and attention. I have always received comprehensive care that is well thought out, personal, and easy to follow. I have been to other PT clinics in the Chicago area and Impact is the best!

IMPACT Physical Therapy (South Loop Chicago) is great! The therapists are very knowledgable and kind, and the whole staff is friendly and helpful. When my insurance ran out, they worked with me to switch to 5-packs of shorter visits to help me continue to heal without paying for a full PT appointment out of pocket. My injury (intercostal and back muscular issues due to rowing) is largely healed now, and I think going to IMPACT played a huge role in my quick recovery.

I have had a couple of running related injuries over the years. When I have gone in, they do a thorough assessment and get straight to work on making me function well quickly. They are professional, creative, results-oriented, and are about solving for the problem(s) at hand. Their staff is trained and supervised well and overall very pleasant. The rates are reasonable. They are always on time in seeing me. Overall, a very good value and I highly recommend Impact.

I’ve seen both Shannon and Kristen at Impact and worked with the other practitioners there during my exercises. It’s an extremely friendly environment and they’re very understanding about what you can and can’t do depending on your injury/pain. They give you different exercises to try so it doesn’t get too repetitive, and the massage/body work portion of the appointment is really nice. I’ve never seen a physical therapist that worked so much on me – helping me stretch, pushing joints into place, etc, than at Impact. Often times I would go and they would maybe massage for 5 minutes before sending me to do exercises. I absolutely recommend Impact!!

nicole B.

Overall, my experience at Impact has been very positive. The therapists, including Shannon, Kristin and Liz, are all knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The assisting staff are also friendly and helpful. The South Loop site feels clean and safe with the Covid precautions they have in place. I would highly recommend their physical therapy services.

Best therapists in town– I have been seeing Liz for about five years for different injuries. I am an endurance athlete and it takes a village to keep doing what I love. I am happy that Liz and Impact Physical Therapy is part of my team.

My family and I have been treated by impact physical therapy for years. All of the therapist are good and attentive especially the therapist we usually see, Liz Yerly. She is knowledgeable and is open and flexible to try multiple treatments to address your needs. I have to travel to be treated by her. But I don’t mind because I have complete confidence in her ability to provide and suggest treatments to address my needs

Jeffrey V.

13:47 12 Jan 21

I have had the opportunity to use Liz and most of the staff during my period of physical therapy and say they are the best. They are warm, friendly, attentive, professional and most of all interested in your needs and your thoughts concerning how the therapy is working for you. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I love it here! I usually see Shannon, but everyone is very nice and helpful also. Especially Sue! I started therapy for a shoulder injury in late September/early October (can’t remember) and my shoulder pain and movement has gotten better since. I also get a great workout every time I go which I love. If you’re looking to start PT this is the place to be.

I have received fantastic care at Impact. I’ve seen Liz for years because she is amazing and always new things for me to try so that my body and I can work better as a team. She’s help me get back in my feet after injuries, maintain a healthy body, and I am confident that I have far fewer injuries because I do what she says. I don’t like going to doctors, but I love going to Impact. They take the time to get to know you and they want to help you meet your fitness goals.

Nikki B.

17:14 03 Oct 20

I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy. I have been treated for several different issues at Impact, including knee, hip, hamstring and shoulder. Impact is a great PT place for athletes and active people–I am a highly active person in my late 20s, and the Impact South Loop physical therapists have all been supportive in helping me reach my ideal level of physical activity; when I told them I wanted to mitigate my pain enough to be able to run, they continually worked with me to reach that goal and never suggested that I give it up.I have worked predominately with Liz Yearly, who is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled physical therapist. Liz is proficient in a variety of techniques and draws on these to create an individualized treatment plan. The South Loop physical therapists have a great team dynamic–they will consult with each other on your case to get each others’ opinion and draw on each other’s strengths to create a strong treatment plan for you.All the staff members at Impact South Loop are friendly, personable and professional. Questions about insurance or scheduling are always responded to promptly. The location has a friendly, communal atmosphere that makes physical therapy an enjoyable experience.

Shannon Antwerp is one of the best physical therapists in Chicago. She does amazing work with dry needling. Since starting physical therapy, I’ve experienced relief in my neck/shoulders/right arm all of which have been impacted by various accidents over the years. Thanks to Shannon and the folks at Impact Physical Therapy, I’m doing a lot better!

Came here seeking treatment for long-term, nagging hamstring pain that had not been fixed by a variety of treatments tried by a previous doc and a previous PT. Kara Mathys re-assessed me, ran me through some great strengthening exercises and localized treatment (dry needling and scraping), and when that didn’t work, kept at it to figure out the problem was in my back, not at the site. She stretched me out to improve back mobility, and I’m finally healed. Thoughtful approach, great attitude, listens well, fun to work with. Thanks, Kara!

I love Impact Physical Therapy. This is my second visit to this facility and both times I have had Shayne as my therapist. Shayne is great – no she is fantastic. I had a total knee replacement in January and I was able to recover quickly because I did presurgery therapy with her. I am now back with a dislocated shoulder and am feeling better with each sessionBe sure to check this place out. They have great equipment and everyone is extremely professional

I have been a patient at Impact in Lakeview and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Every member of the staff is the Alpha and Omega of all parts of the body and the exercises that will bring those parts back the mobility and glory they were always meant for!Through my many years at Impact I have not crossed paths with a PT that did’t know everything about everything that they were talking about – but better yet, the few times a question was posed were the answer wasn’t readily available the reaction was always, “Let’s find out!”Without any doubts I will be an Impact Physical Therapy Lakeview location client until the end of my days.They’re the best!

I injured my left knee years ago and ended up having a partial meniscectomy early in the year. I continued part of my recovery process at Impact Therapy. I worked with Kyle Stenzel from day 1.He is a great listener and has great communication skills. He was very good at paying attention to my concerns and questions. He was very detailed oriented and was also great at assessing issues with my knee, and explaining those issues and the treatment for improvement.During my sessions, he was always willing to explain everything in detail and making sure that I was well-informed. He did his fair part trying to educate about my recovery process. He was also great at encouraging me to continue with my exercises at home and giving me advice to maximize muscle recovery.Kyle was very patient, flexible and always willing to make changes and individualize my treatment exercises based on my progress. I would say this approach is one of the things that I appreciate the most about him; being very empathetic and compassionate and always honoring and respecting where I was at a given point in my healing journey.

I started going to Lakeview IMPACT Physical Therapy at the recommendation of a friend, seeking care for chronic back and hip pain. In just over a month, Lauren Nellamattathil has been able to help me walk straight for the first time in three years. Her physical therapy and manual therapy skills and understanding are excellent and they have made a big difference in my day-to-day life. I am very grateful and can wholeheartedly recommend Lauren and Lakeview IMPACT without reservation.

Nothing compares to the care, and results, I received at Impact PT Lakeview. I’d been to one other physical therapy place prior to Impact and it was a much better experience here.The interpersonal care is what stands out. From the first visit onward my physical therapist, Lauren, got to know me and my ailments meticulously. Every session would begin with a brief conversation about my physical condition. I wasn’t just a name on a clipboard.I came to Impact with multiple ailments including a chronic back issue that seemed to be flaring up more frequently. The work, and subsequent improvement, Lauren put in to make me feel better has been lasting.I can’t say enough about the knowledge and professional ability Lauren has. I trust her with any physical issue that may arise in the future and that gives me great piece of mind.Aaron B.

Never did physical therapy until I ended up going here. Such a friendly team starting from the front desk all the way to the physical therapists who are very knowledgeable. I’ve worked with Lauren and Eric so far and they are the best. Nicole also has helped with incorporating me with exercises when I’m there. Overall best place hands down. Great service!

Before starting Physical Therapy at Impact Lakeview, I was in constant pain. My physical therapist Beth has done a great job of listening to my issues and providing treatment. With each week of therapy my pain levels have gone down and my quality of life has improved. Thank you!

First time with Impact PT for osteoarthritis pain mostly in my knees. Superb therapist, Eric Niwinski. Eric has an incredible demeanor – he’s what I call “natural friend.” He’s positive, extremely knowledgeable, understands my limitations, makes the sessions hard but also fun. He’s tough but gentle all at the same time. The place is always buzzing – every therapist is working with patients, sometimes more than one at a time, and no one is neglected or left waiting, ever. Tatiana, the receptionist/business ops person is fabulous. She’s smart as a whip, on point and efficient, super friendly, and has a great sense of humor. I really like the open environment. You can see all the other patients doing their exercises and it’s inspiring, really. The entire staff is very customer focused. It’s a welcoming atmosphere where you get to work with super qualified therapists and get better. Love it!

Eric is an amazing physical therapist and a great guy. I felt very comfortable with him from the start. I’ve been going to Impact 3 times a week since June of 2020. I hobbled in to Impact due to a painful heel spur. Although polite, Eric knows how to use constructive criticism, and he’s able to be stern to help me push myself. Eric is very hard working, and he caters to all of his patients. These days, I am feeling so much better, I had almost forgotten how nice it is to be able to walk pain free. My whole core is much stronger and I have lost weight. I was also able to avoid surgery to remove the heel spur, as an alternate method proved extremely helpful. I would very highly recommend Eric and Impact Physical Therapy for any and all physical therapy needs!

Paul Thomas is an exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, warm, kind, Physical Therapist. Although he is one of the top in the field in Chicago, he is also extraordinarily humble. He makes you feel comfortable right away, and describes his assessment in ways you are able to understand. I have had PT my entire life, in many different countries, and Paul tis the best I have met! The rest of the team that works with Paul is also fantastic! You will be in the best hands if you schedule with Paul or others on his team!

This Iocation is very nice and all the staff are friendly and courteous. I’ve been seeing Paul, intermittently, for various physical therapy treatments for almost 8 years. I trust his expertise more than some doctors and will typically come to him for an evaluation before seeing a doctor. He also introduced me to dry needling and although it’s not always fun to receive as a patient, it works wonders and is worth it. I highly recommend Paul and Impact.

For the last 2 years I have received outstanding care and compassion from the staff at Impact Physical Therapy in Lakeview.Eric N. physical therapist has rehabbed both of my knee surgeries with meticulous care and knowledge of human anatomy and joint movement.

I went to Impact Physical Therapy to rehab after foot surgery (Achilles). They were very professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel very comfortable. I liked the one-on-one nature of the treatment. The therapy was a success as I was back to playing tennis at full strength afterwards. Would DEFINITELY recommend them, and plan on consulting with them again for any future injury.

Paul Thomas is a miracle worker. I’ve run several Ultra Marathons (57 miles, 64 miles and 100 miles distances) and he puts me all back together. The guy is a wizard in dry needling. Incredibly smart and gracious. This is the person to go to if you are an athlete that is looking for sound views on what is going on with your body. He works in the Lakeview location on Lincoln and Paulina.

Paul and the other physical therapists at Impact Physical Therapy Lakeview are knowledgeable, skilled therapists that deliver care effectively and safely. I have been treated by the team for various conditions, including cervical spine, back, hip and knee surgery . I have always left the clinic feeling better! They have helped me get back to activities I love to do. I highly recommend Impact Phisical Therapy Lakeview!

Paul Thomas is professional, highly educated and most importantly made me feel hopeful that my condition would improve with therapy, while being very realistic about expectations. I had seen other PT providers for the same issue and the difference in terms of approach, knowledge of the condition and impact of therapy were vastly different. I would highly recommend Paul Thomas.

I’ve been seeing Lauren for a little over a year now. First to prep for upcoming hip surgery and to relieve the pain associated with it. Then, after the surgery, I kept up with Lauren to rebuild my strength and get back to the activities I love doing. Lauren has gone above and beyond for me. I am back to running and jumping and moving and grooving like I wasn’t sure I would be able to! I love her kindness, patience, attentiveness, and client-oriented mindset. I 100% recommend her service services to anyone in need of a professional PT!

I was brought to impact physical therapy after working with traditional physical therapists at Rush. I am an athlete and some of the techniques that are traditionally used are too gentle for somebody with athletic abilities. My therapist it is kind, but she really works the muscles that need to be worked and for the first time I feel like there is a change in my back. If you are looking for a physical therapy experience where you are going to get results, I would recommend coming here. I will probably need one more surgery and I have already decided that I will do my post surgical recovery work at impact. They are the right combination of tough and caring.

Elizabeth F.

I’ve had a really good experience with Lauren – she does a great job of explaining the science behind the techniques we used, and I’ve definitely improved.

Long overdue review. Lauren worked with me for 2 months last fall to help resolve my tennis elbow pain. She provided excellent care including deep tissue release, scraping, and ultrasound, as well as exercises to strengthen the muscles around the joint. Appointments are easy to schedule with desk staff, facilities are clean and well-maintained, and overall they provide a very comfortable environment for PT.

My husband recommended his physical therapist Lauren and I am happy he did. I’ve been in 3 times (in one week b/c my ankle sprain has been pretty painful) and I already feel so much better!! Don’t delay like I did, just call and they’ll pencil you in!!

I would give 10 star to this place and the workers here. DPT in charge, Leo, is the most kind, knowledgeable and experienced with musculoskeletal injuries. He knows “ the stuff”.He listens to your concerns and will walk you thru the anatomy of the area that requires therapy/tune up. He will explain the “what” and “why”of the problem and will deliver appropriate treatment for the entire session.The therapists who help him are wonderful and responsive.. and the front desk personnel is polite and reassuring. They will try very hard to accommodate your appointment needs . This is a great team work experience which benefits the patient. Hat off!

I accompanied my husband to his first PT visit to assist with translation if needed. I have NEVER seen such a thorough initial evaluation performed.

This is coming from a nurse with 49 years experience.

This place is great. It’s very clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. Leo took care of my father and was careful, thorough and explained everything as he went along. He made father felt heard and understood. He also helped him understand what his body was doing because of his injury. Leo was also checking in with the staff and their patients making sure they were on the right page and were being taken care. He did this while still giving my father attention to his care. Leo is a great leader and you see that with his great team. I highly recommend them!

Right in my backyard, there is a physical therapy center, which has provided me with respite from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis, as well as seasonal injuries, like “falling on both knees”. I only need to drive a few blocks, to receive help. Having RA does not end; RA needs frequent sessions of care, whether weeks or months. This is the place that provides support and care in tolerating a chronic illness. I’m grateful for the long-term care provided by Impact Therapy, given by Leo, Rachel, Magda, and Trish.

Additionally, he is very nice and super easy to talk to and work with. He is an extremely knowledge and gifted therapist who’s a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this business even if you need to travel far for it. You’ll get the best service and treatment here.

I’m so glad to have her help figuring out how to stay strong in pregnancy and how to improve my pelvic floor strength.

I continue to improve even though I’ve only had 3 visits so far. I am going to continue and complete my therapy here because it’s the first time I feel I’ve made significant progress. Tim is a highly trained and I feel that I’m in the right hands. Although the location is a bit far, it is just off the 294, and well worth the trip.

Chris did an excellent job helping me through a recent injury. He demeanor, level of engagement and treatment plan were a lifesaver and helped me recover and get back to exercising. The entire team has a great level of camaraderie and made PT a very positive experience.

I have been going to Impact since 2019. They have great staff, great communication, comfortable atmosphere, and knowledgeable. For my mild injuries, I go for tune-ups and I am usually better in a couple of days. For larger injuries, I had a herniated disc where I had weakness in my left arm. After going consistently to Bill, my strength in my left arm is back, and no pain. I am so glad I didn’t have to go any further to get any kind of procedures done. They have great communications and recommendations for doctors. You will not be disappointed!

Kamila, Tim, Jimmy, Peggy & Dom are all fabulous. Jimmy went over all of the insurance information and made sure I understood what the process was. Both Tim & Kamila do a wonderful job going over the injury and explaining what needs to be done during and after your appointment. Dom and Peggy are always there to help with stretches and exercises.The equipment is continuously being wiped down and the facility is very well maintained.

I had several knee procedures, including a spacer and a TKR. The scar tissue buildup was significant. I chose Impact because of a prior very positive experience with Kamila. I worked primarily with Chris and was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic. He has a great understanding of when and how to push you further to meet your goals. He and Kamila worked with me to progress far enough that I wouldn’t need a probable manipulation, eventually getting the ROM to 120 degrees, which seemed out of reach at the outset.I was also very impressed with the positive atmosphere and the camaraderie of the entire staff. The therapists and their support team work well together. I would recommend the Hinsdale location to anyone who is looking for a professional environment and a high quality team to help you reach your rehabilitation goals.

I have never really done PT before, but Chris made my experience awesome my first time. He made each session fun and personable. I went in there after having weeks and weeks of neck and back pain. Chris was able to pin point the problem and after my first session, I was doing 75% better. After my 3rd session I was problem free. Thank you Chris and Impact Physical Therapy. Also I went here during covid season, the facility is clean and faculty is very diligent about cleaning and wiping everything after every session. I felt safe and comfortable going here. It was not crowded and tons of distance between folks.

I’ve had therapy on various parts of my body at Impact by each of the PT’s on staff, and each one was knowledgeable , compasionate, and willing to educate me. I’ve tried other PT outlets, and they are the best!

The staff at Impact Physical Therapy is outstanding. I would recommend, and have recommended, them to all of my friends and family. Tim and Kamila are, quite simply, excellent physical therapists who go above and beyond to help get you back to top form. They are the best. Thank you!

As in the past my contact with Impact has been most helpful and enjoyable. During my therapy I looked forward to doing the physical activity, using the equipment, and enjoying the personal. Everyone was friendly, attentive to their client, respectful of privacy and patient. No insistence on activities that caused pain. My therapist was considerate of my needs and was informed and skilled as she help me to better physical health.Impact is a great place!

I came to Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale after working with a few other local physical therapists who not only didn’t help but made me re-injure myself by giving me bad advice and advising me to do exercises that are harmful for your back. I felt helpless. The other “physical therapists” pushed injections and pain medications from the beginning instead of taking the time to actually evaluate me and help me build up my strength to heal and prevent re-injury. Chris is very knowledgeable and extremely caring and calm. I cannot emphasize how important that demeanor is when you are in excruciating pain and desperate for help. Some people gave me life altering diagnoses saying I would be in pain forever and that I would never heal. Chris quickly dismissed this and gave me the confidence I needed to believe I could heal. After a few months I am back to myself again. I have the tools I need to continue to strengthen my body. I truly hope I never have to see Chris again but if I do I know where to find him.

I was referred by Dr. Ali, my neurologist to have physical therapy to improve my motor skills as I was diagnosed with early onset of PD. In addition, my orthopedic doctor, Dr. Ivy suggested for me to have phyiscal therapy as well. I was a little skeptical to do it since I have been going for PT for 3 years and did not make any difference in my movement. However this time, Dr. Ali said try IMPACT down the street, it’s private. They check coverage of your insurance. I made my appointment and presesented the referral of neuro and ortho doctors. I was assigned to Chris, my therapist. Chris interviewed me during the first meeting to assess my condition and went over treatment plan and activities. I told myself “this is different from my previous PT sessions at DuPage Medical Group.” The sessions were pretty much structured; warm up, activities using different equipment and stretching. My warm up turned out to be as important as the actual activity to address the tightness of my joints. Chris is cognizant of my safety as I work on the equipment. The facility is busy. Patients range from school age children, high schoolers and adults. The staff are warm and pleasant. Each has a patient to attend to. Equipments are sanitized after use. Over time, I have seen big improvement in my movement, balance and coordination. I have since talked about IMPACT with my friends who at some point in their life have had to go for physical therapy. I pray that my insurance benefits continue to cover PT with IMPACT. Going to IMPACT became a routine for me to get well. Thank you Chris and IMPACT.

I’ve been to impact for rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders back to back followed by current separated shoulder injury. They have a very well run clean physical therapy business. All the therapists are great and they have great interns helping with all of the exercises. I’ve only seen Tim and Kamilla who I like a lot but other therapists seem great because I’ve watched them work on other patients and it seems to me that they work hard. Anyway, it’s a great place

I have been going to Impact Physical Therapy on and off for over 2 years. As a triathlete, I appreciate that I have been able to schedule an appointment quickly with Tim or Jimmy. They have been able to evaluate and treat my injuries before they progressed and therefore, I haven’t had to miss much training. Both have incredible knowledge. They work out the problem (using Graston techniques, etc.) and provide me with exercises to do at home. My daughters have also benefited from Impact’s services, as well as many friends I have referred. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and determination to help heal all injuries.

I have been suffering with herniated disc for 30 years. I was trying to solve my problem with lots of specialist over 30 years. (orthopedists, chiropractors, physiotherapist). Nobody was able to help me. I found out what was wrong with my body 9 weeks ago for the first time. The attack 9 weeks ago was very painful. I felt like something wanted to tear my leg’s muscles. I couldn’t hold urine. I couldn’t dress up and take off cloths by myself. I was going through the hell on the earth. Years of asking for help without an answer made me distrustful. I wanted to go to see somebody but somebody who knows what to do. I decided I will go from physiotherapist to physiotherapist until I find the right one. I was ready to fly to California where my trainer lives, who is a physiotherapist as well.Impact in Hinsdale was the first one I asked for help. I came to office in good condition, but at the point I couldn’t help myself anymore. I couldn’t stretch muscles anymore by myself. I needed manual therapy. I received exactly what I needed. Chris H. saved my life. I hope I will never need him anymore. But if so, I will find him again.

There are not enough stars to rate my experience at Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale! The environment and atmosphere at Impact are so welcoming and comfortable as soon as you walk through the door! I was always treated with kindness and compassion by everyone in the office – even the therapists who were not directly working with me. My physical therapist, Dr. Tim Rylander, is a top expert in the field of concussion recovery and I was so fortunate to be able to work with him! HIs expertise, professionalism and genuine care for me as a patient were evident from very early in my treatment plan. His sessions were well planned out and challenged me in the needed areas. He worked with me and believed I would reach my goal of returning to the career I loved when many others thought it wasn’t possible! He was always so positive and encouraging! I know I would not be where I am today without him! Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale is truly a special place!

This is my second experience with physical therapy. My first experience was at one of the major physical therapy groups in the Chicago land area. I was recommended to a specific therapist Tim Rylander whom helped me successfully recover from a couple of sports injuries and I would highly recommend him. After struggling with my current injury, my trainer recommended that I meet with mpact Physical therapy due to his success with them. I had rememered Tim but I decided to give them a shot because they happened to be more conveniently located. When I walked in for my first appointment, I recognized Tim and can’t tell you how releved and happy I was to see him especially because he is the mansgima partner. Although my initial consultation was not with Tim but with another therapist, Chris Harter. I can’t tell you what a great experience I am having with Chris, the facility and the staff. Chris is a graduate of northwestern and embodies the sensitivity and touch anyone would want while recovering from any injury. The space is modern and inviting with tons of glass and the support staff are super friendly and helpful. It does not feel like a typical “medical” environment. Their unique recovery room offers some of the latest innovations for athletes and anyone looking for assisting with injury or sore muscle recovery. I would highly recommend both Tim and Chris and really any of the therapist at this facility.

When my neurosurgeon suggested physical therapy instead of a fourth back surgery I was lucky enough to find Impact Physical Therapy. Their knowledge, professionalism, patient focus, communication skills, state of the art equipment and realistic goals far surpassed any other physical therapy company that I’ve used since my first surgery 15 years ago. I strongly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

I am a runner and injured my calf over and over. This last time I really did it. It was bruised all up and down. I could not walk up stairs. I went to impact and worked with Ashley Dunne. The therapy was hard at times but she got me healed and taught me exercises for home. I have been pain and injury free ever since. Plus she is very nice and makes the visits pleasant! Forever grateful!

Impact Therapy was suggested by a friend in the business. The experience from start to finish was great. Their knowledge of insurance, and was a big help. The staff was extremely helpful, my daughter saw Ashley for a pulled quad. She was able to work with her while she was still playing sports. Definitely would recommend!!

Although I’ve only been here for my rehab, due to right rotator cuff surgery, for one week. I already know this staff filled with well qualified, and excellent trainers is going to make my shoulder whole again so I can get back to job as a police officer, and the active sports life that I live.

Impact Physical Therapy is a fantastic clinic to help recover from any injury. I have been to other local clinics for previous sports injuries and this has been the best experience of them all. Nicole has been great and is very knowledgeable, as is the rest of the staff who I have worked with. She listens to how I am feeling and can make adjustments to increase or decrease the difficulty. I am very happy that I decided to go to Impact and am back moving well before my doctor thought I would be.

Impact Physical Therapy in Oak Lawn is a great place! This place and the people who work there made a good impression on me as soon as I walked in the door. From the receptionist to the Physical Therapists and the Therapy Assistants, everyone is friendly, kind, professional and extremely competent. During the hour I spend there, someone is working with me to fix my shoulder injury all the time. I am so thankful that I have Courtney and Barbara working with me, but my observation is that everyone employed there works really hard to make his/her patient better! I am so happy my friend recommended Impact Physical Therapy to me. I love going there.

Impact Physical Therapy was suggested to me by my doctor’s physician assistant. I started therapy in January for weakness in my leg. I was assigned to Nikki. I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist. She is knowledgeable, encouraging and patient. As a matter of fact, everyone I have interacted with at Impact have been welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. If you are considering physical therapy, I highly recommend you consider Impact Physical Therapy.

I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy Oak Lawn. I am a senior citizen who enjoys running. I sustained a soft tissue hip injury and thought my running days were behind me. Courtney and Ashley worked skillfully using a number of different techniques to rehab my injury while concurrently prescribing strength training and stretching exercises, which I continue to do. I am delighted to say that several months after completing my PT, I am back running and looking forward to my first post-pandemic / post injury race – the 2022 Ridge Run! I am forever grateful to be back running – especially at this age! The pic is from a cool down following a run In Florida. Thank you, Courtney and Ashley!

A huge thanks to Courtney and the rest of the Impact team for helping me reach my goal of hiking the Grand Canyon! Had physical therapy on my knee and back right before the trip and was able to shoulder a 35lb pack down and up more than 6,000 feet with no problems. It doesn’t matter if your goal is to climb a mountain or climb out of bed, the supportive therapists at Impact Therapy will assist you to feel better. Awesome job and great results from Impact Therapy.

Hello everyone, I do pray these words can give you some comfort soon. I became a patient with Impact Physical Therapy because of Vertigo. I feel for anyone who has had to deal with Vertigo or even motion sickness. I had the opportunity to work with one of the Impact associates by the name of Nicole. This girl knows her skills and knows how to treat Vertigo. I had to see Nicole twice a week for a month because my positional Vertigo being an A typical rare case. You see my Vertigo began in March and continued for 3 months. I am so Grateful for Nicole and the whole Impact staff. I had a difficult start and all the staff was so accommodating to my needs and schedule. The staff has everything set up and are able to accommodate all different types of therapy that I didn’t know existed. The place has enough room to allow people to do what is needed to improve their quality of life in a very clean and healthy environment!!!Good Luck to you all I hope and pray you have the Best experience as I did. Mostly Thank you Nicole for being the caring and understanding person you are and for helping me get back to living again 😉♥️

I have done physical therapy several times, and I have never had such success as I have with Courtney. The staff is so friendly and supportive. I swore I would never be able to walk around the block 2 times or go up and down the stairs easily. I am now able to do this! I was getting therapy for the same injury for 8 months, and I have had more success in the last 2 weeks than I did there.
